Section 421 of 882
Canonical reference 2.19.11
Ancient Greek
καὶ εἰ τὸ γένος ὅλον τῶν δυνατῶν γενέσθαι, καὶ τὸ εἶδος, καὶ εἰ τὸ εἶδος, καὶ τὸ γένος, οἷον εἰ πλοῖον γενέσθαι δυνατόν, καὶ τριήρη, καὶ εἰ τριήρη, καὶ πλοῖον.
English
J. H. Freese, 1926
And if the whole genus is among things possible to be made, so is the species, and if the species, so the genus; for example, if a vessel can be built, so can a trireme, if a trireme can, so can a vessel.

Et si le genre entier appartient aux choses qu’il est possible de fabriquer, l’espèce aussi ; et si l’espèce le peut, le genre le peut également ; par exemple, si l’on peut construire un navire, on peut construire une trière, et si l’on peut construire une trière, on peut construire un navire.
